Solvent Yellow 14

Bright oil-soluble yellow dye for plastics, inks & solvent-based coatings

Solvent Yellow 14 is a bright, oil-soluble solvent dye offering strong tinting power and good solubility in common organic carriers. It is designed for formulators who need a vivid yellow with reliable processing behavior in solvent systems and non-polar polymer matrices.

TRADE NAME:

Oil Yellow R,Sudan Orange 220,Fast Orange R 01,Somalia Orange GR

Key Features

  • High color strength — excellent tinting efficiency
  • Good solubility in aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents and solvent blends
  • Thermally stable for common extrusion and molding temperatures (check substrate limits)
  • Suitable for solvent-based inks, varnishes, PVC, PS and other non-polar plastics
  • Available in powder and liquid/concentrate forms for convenience

Advantages

  • Bright, clean yellow hue that improves visual appeal and brand consistency
  • Easy dispersion — reduces processing time and avoids streaking
  • Cost-effective alternative to some pigment systems where transparency is desired
  • Custom concentrations and carrier formulations available on request

Applications of Solvent Yellow 14

mainly used in coloring different plastics,such as PS,HIPS,RPVC,PMMA,SAN,etc, also used in coloring shoes cream,floor wax,resin, printing inks,and oil products, also used in making fireworks and transparent paints.
